Good plan. A wizened, ancient, skinny philosopher/warlock guy once told me the same thing. No, not Paul.

I also did much of my latest run without my gloves on, like other studs I know. Staying warm is easy. Avoiding a sweat fest is less easy, but actually on this run I did a good job of that. Enjoying being out there in the freezing cold instead of almost anything else is the issue. To explain further: This running in frigid temps, to me, is like having salad without dressing. Still good for me, no doubt, and still resembles something I love. But! Not even a fraction of how good it could be. And all the chewy, earthy nasty bits are amplified instead of improved.
